I read the book a while ago, when it first came out in paperback (I'm not sure that it ever came out in hardback). From what I have heard, the book and the movie are very different. I guess the reports coming out about this movie have been mixed--it was being called a disaster a few months ago and people wondered if it would ever be released. I have heard that the script has been re-written multiples times in fundamental ways. Hopefully they pull it together and make an awesome movie.

There's a book club? I'd be in for that with WWZ. I think my wife has a copy laying around (she read it last summer).

I just made it up lol. You want VP?

I heard the book is more or less interviews with survivors all over the world. It touches on there perception of the events. That didn't seem possible in a movie. Is that right?

The book was meant to highlight the effects of this war from a Global and Individual perspective.

From the initial signs/outbreaks to the defeat of the plague itself.

In my opinion, the book was good because the stories were interconnected and the effects of one chapter could be felt in a different chapter by a different character from a different continent hence the title "World War Z".

I suppose the business of Holly Wood, insisted that they had a leading man, and turned it into an action movie.
